Feature Artist of the Month: MARSHA FILIPIAK

Welcome to Made By Marsha! where digital collage is the new passion of Marsha Filipiak. 

Digital collage is an artistic composition using computer technology in its creation and production. 

To create her designs, Marsha layers vintage and current photos with other images, such as: matchbox covers, perfume bottle labels, old letters, and much more. The designs are then mounted on recycled wood in various sizes and some even have found objects attached for added interest. 

They are way cool. Check it out. . .

Marsha is a self taught stained glass artist. Her stained glass designs are not just your "traditional" variety glass, but really unique, kooky and sometimes contemporary glass. 

During the early years, the late 70’s, Marsha had a full time secretarial job and did glass designing on the side. In 1984 when the demand grew for her work, her dream came true. She quit the secretarial work to start her own business. Dennis, her husband became involved in 1995 as the business grew and they've never looked back. 

Marsha has worked with interior designers and local cabinet makers to customize stained glass art for all types of rooms and even created stained glass valances for windows plus matted and framed three-dimensional abstract designs to hang on your walls.

She has been a fixture in the Michigan fine art fair circuit for many years. It’s a great way for the public to meet and talk to her about their custom design ideas and she can introduce a new audience to her work, which can also be seen in a number of galleries and shops in Michigan and Indiana.

Marsha’s love for creating and working with her hands is evident, whether stained glass, digital collage, or bowling pin art, she has a good eye for color, composition and whimsy, always sure to bring smiles to anyone that sees it. 

She also creates reasonably priced items for gift giving such as picture frames, jewelry boxes, candle holders, 3D mix media collaged items, digital collage note cards and so much more. Just come to one of the Traveling Artists Roadshows and see for yourself. 

How lucky to be able to do what you love every day!

Oh, did I mention that this crazy traveling art show is Marsha's idea! Yep, and there are bunch of great artists ready and waiting to show you what they do.
